A very COOL Tool

[FrankieD]

My son works for this company so I was able to borrow the tool when ever I needed it. I uses Magnetic Induction to create heat. Last year when I blew the engine on my 95 I borrowed it to loosen the exhaust manifold bolts we put it on the bolts an with in 10 to 15 seconds it was cherry red. They are kind of expensive but I told him I would like to have one so he talked to the owner and he got one for 1/2 price for Christmas, they run around $500.00 for the MiniDuctor. I wanted to take the pump motor apart for my plow and the screws were frozen so I rapped the coil around the base and was able to get the screws out with out snapping them off. Here is the web site check it out and let me know what you think. Check the video out,I'm going see if he will advertise here.

very cool indeed. you said that cost 500 or so? Also how does it adjust to different sized bolts/nuts.

[FrankieD]

Yes they have different size coils they also have one that comes with the kit that you can rap around a axel to get a frozen bearing or race out that was what I used to heat up my plow pump motor base to get the screws out.

The nice thing about it is that you don't scorch every thing around it like with a torch and you have control of the temp. I can take parts to the basement and not have to work in the cold -10 here today.

Ya just gott'a love new applications of old technology! Induction hardening has been around forquite some time. Making the proccess small, portable, and affordable was genious!

It also can be used to remove hail dents or heat an area up before knocking the dents out so it will straighten with out as much force or warping.
